Subject: studies needed re: depo provera and lactation failure


> Cindy:
> I am a hospital based IBCLC in a teaching hospital. Our attendings and
residents routinely give Depo Provera prior to discharge. I am seeing a
great deal of patients come in with lactation failure- probably due to the
progesterone/prolactin relationship required for stage II of lactogenesis. I
have been called on the rug about it (actually for informing moms about the
potential risks if given before 6 weeks). Do you know of any studies
substantiating the need to wait six weeks postpartum? I am about to have to
meet with the docs to discuss it, so time is of the essence.
